^--- Immortal/Sentry all in. Try to delay your 3rd and 4th gas a bit longer for an extra queen and about 6 spines. get your creep pushed out into the area you want to flank and engage and cover small chokes with spines. It can be hard to hold but just remember your target priorities and have a layer of lings around your roach balls to absorb immortal dps. That's my 2 cents. Great videos david, I am really loving the 6 queen openings. I really enjoyed your take on the zerg metagame, makes a lot of sense, to just try to get to t3 with as big of a gas bank as you can. I had been going pure ling infestor but I'd die to large maxed out pushes, I've started incorporating a few roaches to hold those and they let me save gas for the ultras without dying. Awesome work guys, and can you guys try to do a more in depth mechanics session preferably sober .


SOBER?? What is this nonsense.


Fine, but at least, create a INTIMATE Z v X drinking game. That would be preferable.

every time david complains about not getting enough viewers, drink
every time shawn or david calls a viewer an idiot, drink
every time shawn or david calls a viewer retarded, double drink
every time david calls an opposing players strategy retarded, drink
every time they need to sync up, chug until fully synced
every time david tells you to look into a past vod to learn, drink
every time they call a player that is not in the vod, bad player or retarded, drink
every time shawn mentions his cat bailey, drink.
If the cat scratches him, or crawls on his desk, double drink.

Fuck, I really wish there was a show like this for the other races. Words can't describe how much I hate ZvZ, but I may end up switching back to Zerg anyway because of this series.

Retret & Nuvo, a question for you regarding the concept of not expanding while teching:

I am not really sure if I understand the logic behind this idea. For example, if I as zerg wish to go for Brood Lords (against P or T), shouldn't I put down my fourth around the time that I start my hive? Is this an exception because of the very long time it takes to tech to brood lords? Or in ZvZ, if I want hydras, shouldn't I put down the hydra den when I start 5th+6th gas? The only way the last one makes sense to meis the reasoning that I secured those gases via roach tech, so I technically expanded while staying on roaches, and then when the gases were taken, I could make use of the third with tech.
Probes are sick.

Will play with next episode, I guarentee. Hope you gents had a good time at NASL, seeing Stephano roflstomp everyone.
Teching to hive too quickly isn't just a risk: it's an ultrarisk

David what do you think of going bling nest before speed with a hatch first 16pool/17 gas build? Seems to me if your going to be defensive with banelings anyway wouldnt it be easier to hold off say 14/14 aggression with early blings than with just queens a spine and slowlings? Am i missing something or is there a specific reason bling nest are not taken earlier?

Thanks

This is an old opening that was popular at the time of the Losira vs Nestea GSL finals. The problem with this build is your opponent will see that you went banelings before speed, and you will not beable to do anything if he simply takes a 3rd and drones heavy. You are now stuck on baneling tech with late speed, and it will be very difficult to not be behind economically afterwards.

Also, double evo builds kills baneling openings before speed.

Roach all in's kill this pretty badly as well.

No speed means you cannot know waht your opponent is actually doing, makign it even harder to decide what to do when your speed finally finishes.

watched a lot of the scarlett games, including her games vs combat ex. not much else to do there

she has awesome decision making skills and a superb understanding of build orders, definitely a nice player.

Max roach.

Or if you want to play it out, you can go spire (cut roaches as much as you can) into mutas, or infestors into 4th base + tier 3.
